SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 722,718, dated March 17, 1903.

Application filed May 13, 1902- Serial No. 107.060. (No model.) I

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, HANNA Koomn and JACOB TURPANcY, citizens of the United States, residing at Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a full and complete specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

' The object of this invention is to provide a bottle, jug, jar, or similar vessel with neck attachments whereby the vessel having once beenifilled and sealed may be emptied of its contents, but cannot be reused.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which the separate parts of our improvement are designated by the same reference characters in each of the views, and in which Figure 1 is a central vertical section of the upper part of a bottle and the neck thereof provided with our improvement; Fig. 2, a similar view showing the bottle in an inverted position, and Fig. 3 a bottom plan view of a detail of the construction.

In the drawings forming part of this specification we have shown at a a bottle provided with a neck a and in the practice of our invention, as shown in the drawings, we provide a tube or sleeve 1), which is adapted to be secured in said neck by cementing, or in any desired manner, and in the bottom of this tube is placed a transverse plate 0, having a central port or passage 0 and above said plate is placed a spherical valve 0 adapted to close said port or passage when the bottle is in an upright position. Above the plate 0 and at a predetermined distance therefrom, said distance being preferably about equal to the diameter of the valve 0 is placed a valve-plate d, having a central port or passage ('6 and the valve-plate d is of considerable thickness, and the side walls of the port orpassage d are provided with supplemental and laterally-directed ports or passages (i which open downwardly through the bottom of said plate, and placed on said valve-plate is a valve 6, having a stem e which passes through said valve and is provided with a downwardly-directed projection 6 which extends a predetermined distance below said valve, or said projection 6 may be formed on the valve e independent of the valve-stem e 7 It will be understood that the plate a and the valve-plated may be secured in the tube or sleeve 1) in any desired manner, and above the valve-plate d and at a predetermined distance therefrom the said tube or sleeve is provided with another transverse partitionplate f, which is perforated and through the central portion. of which the valve-stem e loosely passes, and between said plate f and the valve e is placed a spiral spring f Above the plate f and at a predetermined distance therefrom is placed another valveplate g, which is also secured in the tube or sleeve 1) and which is provided with a central port or passage 9 and secured to the lower side of said plate 9 is a spider-frame g and placed on said valve-plate g and adapted to close the port or passage is a valve gfl-provided with a stem which passes downwardly through the port or passage 9 and through the spider-frame g and the lower end of which is provided with a float g, and the valve-stem g is movable through the spider-frame g Above the valve-plate g is placed another perforated plate h, and this plate is also secured in the tube or sleeve b.

Our invention is not limited to the use of the tube or sleeve b, and this tube or sleeve is only employed for the reason that the various transverse plates or parts of the construction herein described may be more convenientl y secured therein than in the neck of the bottle proper, and said tube can be socured in the neck of the bottle proper with much less trouble and expense than would be necessary in securing the various parts or plates individually in said neck. i

The operation will be readily understood from the foregoing description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the following statement thereof. After the bottle has been filled with the desired contents the tube or sleeve 19, with the parts assembled therein, as shown and described, is secured in the neck of the bottle, and the upper end of said neck is closed by a cork or stopper in the usual manner, and whenever it is desired to empty the bottle or discharge a portion of its contents the cork or stopper is removed and the bottle is inverted, as shown in Fig. 2. In this position of the parts the valve 9 drops into the position shown in Fig. 2, as does also the valve c, this last valve bein g depressed by means of the spherical valve 6, which rests on the projection e In this position of the parts the contents of a bottle will flow out through the ports or passages d and 01 through the perforated plate f, through the port or passage 9 and through the plate g and through the perforated plate h, and this operation may be continued or repeated as often as desired until the bottle is entirely emptied. If an attempt be made to refill the bottle by pouring liquids thereinto, the various movable parts or valves will assume the position shown in Fig. l, and no liquids can enter the bottle, and this result will be the same even if an attempt be made to force liquids into the bottle. If an attempt be made to fill or partially fill the bottle by inserting the neck thereof into liquids, the float g would at once raise the valve g and close the port or passage 9* in the plate 9, and it will therefore be seen that our improvement will operate to prevent the refilling of the bottle in any way.

The perforated plate It is designed to prevent the insertion of a tool or instrument in an elfort to interfere with the operation of the valve 9 and a number of perforated plates may be employed for this purpose, if desired.

Having fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A bottle or similar vessel provided with a neck, a plate secured in the bottom portion thereof and provided with a central port or passage, a ball valve resting on said plate and adapted to close said port or passage, a valve-plate secured above the first-named plate and provided with a central port or passage and lateral ports or passages communicating therewith and opening through the bottom of said plate, a valve placed on said valve-plate and adapted to close the port or V passage therein, said valve being provided with an upwardly-directed stem and downwardly-directed projection, a perforated plate secured over said valve-plate and through which said stem loosely passes, a spring mounted between said perforated plate and said valve, another valve-plate above said perforated plate and provided with a central port or passage, a valve placed on said valveplate and provided with a downwardly-directed stem having a float secured thereto, and a perforated plate placed above said lastnamed valve-plate, substantially as shown and described.

2. A bottle or other vessel provided with a neck, a tube or sleeve adapted to be secured in said neck, a plate secured in the bottom of said tube or sleeve and provided with a central port or passage, a spherical valve placed on said plate, and adapted to close said portor passage, a valveplate secured in said sleeve above the first-named plate and provided with a central port or passage and lateral ports or passages communicating therewith and opening through the bottom of said plate, a valve placed on said valve-plate and adapted to close said port or passage and provided with an upwardly-directed stem and a downwardly-directed projection, a perforated plate secured in said tube or sleeve above said valve-plate and through which said stem loosely passes, a spring placed between said perforated plate and said valve, another valve-plate secured in said tube or sleeve above said perforated plate and provided with a central passage, a valve placed on said valve-plate and adapted to close said port or passage and provided with a stem which passes downwardly therethrough and the lower end of which is provided with a float and another perforated plate secured in said tube or sleeve above said last-named valveplate, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our invention we have signed our names, in presence of the subscribing witnesses, this 12th day of May, 1902.
